This has been organised by the Law Society's Public Relations Committee to provide a fresh assessment of Family Law as a follow-up to the initial symposium on the subject held at the Law Society in October 1980. Speakers for the event will include Dr. Patrick Tub r i dy, Consultant Psychiatrist; Mrs. Maura Wall Murphy, Director, Marriage Conciliation Service; Senator Mary Robinson, S.C., and Mr. Alan Shatter, T.D., Solicitor and author of Family Law in the Republic of Ireland.

Catering arrangements will be facilitated if solicitors planning to attend will advise the office of the Director of Professional Services as soon as possible. • v

Dear Sirs, As part of its service to the business community, the Goethe Institute is proposing to offer in Autumn 1987 a course "German for L awy e r s ". This is a continuation of a course which was conducted in Spring 1987, and which was found most useful by most pa r t i c i pan t s. The emphasis of the course is on the development of reading skills for legal texts, such as contracts, leases and court documentation, and the reading and formulation of legal correspondence t h r ough German. Useful vocabulary lists are also supplied as part of the course, including stock phrases which appear frequently in correspon- dence. The Institute recommends that anyone participating in the course should have approximately t wo years knowledge of German. The course is scheduled to take place on Wednesday evenings, 6.00 — 7.45. Anyone interested should direct their enquiries to Marika Dunne at the Institute, or to the undersigned.
